Financial freedom begins with fishing

Chapter 73 A Series of Explosive Pouts

A section of the shore of Baidongkou Reservoir.

After working for more than ten minutes, Xiao Kai and Liu Bo were ready to go fishing.

Just as he was about to begin, Liu Bo spoke up.

"Xiao Kai, what length pole are you planning to use today?"

Without giving it much thought, Xiao Kai pointed to the fishing rod lying to the side and said, "The water isn't deep here, 5.4 meters is enough!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Bo looked at Xiao Kai suspiciously, paused, and then said, "Xiao Kai, you're not planning to fish for small fry, are you?"

He had seen Xiao Kai's videos and knew that he mainly focused on fishing for crucian carp, so he assumed that Xiao Kai was preparing to fish for crucian carp.

He didn't want to get involved at first, but considering that he had spent money this time, he thought that no matter how many crucian carp he caught, it would be difficult to break even. For a business owner like him, it was clearly a loss.

Knowing what the audience wanted to see, he knew that this would affect the video's quality, which is why he specifically reminded Xiao Kai to switch to a longer pole.

"Yes, crucian carp and common carp!" Xiao Kai nodded frankly, admitting that he did have this plan.

"I see. But it's hard to break even with carp and crucian carp. I suggest you fish for mandarin fish instead. The mandarin fish in this reservoir are pretty good, and the price is decent!" Liu Bo added.

"A pouty mouth?" Xiao Kai was somewhat tempted.

He hadn't fished for mandarin fish much before. He had caught a few small ones a few times in Pingshun before, and this was the first time he had seen such a large mandarin fish.

But despite being tempted, he shook his head and explained.

"It's still early, I'll try fishing for some small fish first to get a feel for it!"

"Alright, as long as you know your limits!"

Seeing that Xiao Kai remained unmoved, Liu Bo said nothing more, spoke a few words to the camera, and then went back to fishing.

Perhaps due to the sharp drop in temperature yesterday, although the sun came out this morning, the fish weren't biting very well. The two of them fished for an hour without catching a single fish, and this continued until around 10 a.m.

At this moment, Xiao Kai finally caught the fish.

The first fish he caught was a crucian carp, but it wasn't very big, which is typical for most reservoirs in winter.

Liu Bo's fish wasn't served until around 10:30.

Unlike Xiao Kai, the first fish he caught was his target fish, a mandarin fish about 60 centimeters long and weighing about three kilograms.

The fact that Liu Bo was able to catch this particular mandarin fish with a hand rod indirectly demonstrates his skill.

"Haha, finally a fish caught! Xiao Kai, look, isn't this one with a nice upturned mouth?"

Liu Bo was clearly in a good mood after successfully catching a mandarin fish, and glanced at Xiao Kai with a hint of delight.

In the past half hour, he watched Xiao Kai catch several crucian carp in a row. He was a little envious at first, but now he doesn't think that way anymore.

After all, this one mandarin fish is worth as much as all the fish in Xiao Kai's fish basket.

(Xiao Kai hasn't started using cheats yet.)

"Oh, congratulations, Brother Bo, what a great start!" Xiao Kai offered his congratulations in a very cooperative manner.

"Hehe, you're not bad either, but it's not good to always fish for crucian carp. I think you've found your rhythm pretty well. Why don't you switch to a long rod and fish for mandarin fish? We can bait the area together, maybe that will be more effective!" Liu Bo said with a smile.

"Can!"

Xiao Kai glanced at the time and had already made up his mind.

He quickly replaced his 5.4-meter fishing rod with a 7.2-meter rebar rod, and then changed his bait to fermented corn specifically for catching mandarin fish, and adjusted his float to a half-water state.

As he cast his fishing rod, unseen by the others, the circle of light he had placed in the middle of the lake quietly began to move toward the shore.

During the process, fish were constantly being gathered in.

By the time the aperture reached the shore, a large number of bubbles had appeared in the water in front of him.

Seeing this, Liu Bo thought that the frying had worked and he had become even more diligent.

However, after waiting for a long time, no fish took the bait.

However, after waiting for a few minutes, Xiao Kai suddenly saw a particularly heavy black car appear.

He immediately cast his line to catch the fish.

With a whoosh, accompanied by the whirring sound of the fishing line cutting through the water, he successfully landed the fish.

"Wow, Xiao Kai caught a fish! It looks pretty big, is it a mandarin fish?"

Upon hearing the commotion from Xiao Kai's side, Liu Bo immediately looked over.

"I'm not sure, but it should be quite strong!" Feeling the pull from the fishing rod, Xiao Kai hugged the rod and backed away, saying as he did so.

"Chen Chi, hurry up and help Xiao Kai scoop the fish!" Liu Bo said hurriedly upon hearing this!

Soon, with Xiao Kai's skillful operation, the fish was successfully brought out of the water.

Unsurprisingly, it was a pufferfish, and it was even slightly larger than Liu Bo's.

Seeing this, Xiao Kai nodded in satisfaction.

That's more like it. What were those crucian carp before?

If he weren't afraid of overshadowing Liu Bo and spoiling the fun, he would have already used his cheat code.

Now that Liu Bo is no longer in the Air Force, he doesn't need to worry about anything anymore.

.....

With Chen Chi's help, Xiao Kai quickly scooped the fish into the net and then couldn't wait to bait the hook again and cast his line.

A few minutes later, another heavy black car appeared.

As expected, Xiao Kai caught another fish.

To outsiders, it seemed that from this moment on, Xiao Kai was blessed by Lady Luck, catching fish non-stop.

One, two, three... more and more, in less than an hour, Xiao Kai was like he was on cheat code, catching fish one after another.

What's even more terrifying is that he's been catching the same kind of fish all this time – the mandarin fish.

This left Liu Bo and his assistants stunned, so much so that they didn't even notice when they caught a fish. By the time they realized what was happening, the fish had already dragged their fishing rods away.

Fortunately, he had brought a safety rope, which allowed him to retrieve the fishing rod, but the fish had already escaped.

However, their attention was all on Xiao Kai, so they didn't pay any attention.

After all, who fishes like that?

If they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes, they would have suspected that someone had hooked fish for Xiao Kai.

But the truth is, Xiao Kai caught it all by himself, at least that's how others see it.

Call ~

Finally, after an hour of relentless practice, Xiao Kai finally stopped.

Seeing this, Liu Bo and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

If this continued, they all felt too ashamed to stay any longer.

He claimed he was there to take advantage of the boss, but to be honest, Liu Bo usually lost more money than he gained.

He had originally planned to mentor Xiao Kai, since he was a newcomer and had been introduced by a friend.

But now it seems uncertain who will lead whom.

Xiao Kai's incredible fish-catching efficiency is something he has rarely seen in all his years of fishing.

"Xiao Kai, is this how you used to fish?"

Seeing Xiao Kai sitting on the fishing chair as if he were exhausted, Liu Bo couldn't help but ask.

He had seen the fishing videos posted by Xiao Kai, in which Xiao Kai consistently achieved consecutive wins. He had initially thought it was just an isolated case, but now it seemed there were more.

"Um!"

Xiao Kai didn't hide it and readily admitted it.

hiss~

Liu Bo and his companions were surprised once again.

It wasn't that he suspected Xiao Kai of cheating, since he had seen it with his own eyes; it was just that he had nothing to say about Xiao Kai's luck.

As a seasoned angler, he could tell that Xiao Kai's skills weren't particularly outstanding, yet he could consistently rack up winning streaks every time. Aside from the mysterious element of luck, he couldn't explain any other reason.
